Voting in Change:

Politics of Singapore's 2011 General Election.

Singapore’s 2011 general election will go down in history as its most significant since independence. This volume offers a snapshot of the heady days leading up to Polling Day on 7 May 2011, and the immediate aftermath that saw seven ministers leave the cabinet. Nine established scholars evaluate the impact of these historic elections from the perspectives of law, history, politics, media, and sociology.

Edited by Kevin YL Tan (NUS Faculty of Law & S Rajaratnam School of International Studies, NTU); and Terence Lee (Murdoch University), this volume features contributions from:

Alex Au Waipang, Terence Chong, Cherian George, Lam Peng Er, Terence Lee, Ooi Can-Seng, Eugene Tan, Kevin YL Tan, Krystal Tan & Bridget Welsh.

As part of the launch event, there will also be a forum featuring first-time political candidates. They will share their personal views and insights into the elections.
